Though most SOREL boots are waterproof or water resistant, they aren’t meant to be submerged in deep water. Fully waterproof boots are seam sealed and will withstand being submerged in puddles but not in large bodies of water. To properly dry boots after being worn in rain and snow they should be left in an area with free flowing air and not an enclosed space until they are completely dry.

This One-Year Limited Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship in SOREL brand footwear and jackets manufactured by Columbia Sportswear Company or its affiliates. Only original, unaltered, and unmodified materials and workmanship are covered by this policy. Damages caused by misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, the natural breakdown of materials over time, or problems that may be reasonably expected with normal wear or failure to follow care instructions are not covered by this Limited Warranty.

This Limited Warranty lasts for one year from the date of purchase. Coverage ends if you sell or transfer the product.

The SOREL Warranty Department will inspect your jacket or footwear at no charge to you. If the Warranty Department determines, in its sole discretion, that the product has a defect covered under this Limited Warranty, we will repair or replace the item. We expect to replace or repair items within 4-6 weeks of inspection. However, depending on the season, inventory level, or product it may take longer to replace certain items. If the defective product is not repairable and an identical product is not available, we will replace it with a product of comparable style and color at our discretion. We will discard your product if it is covered under our Limited Warranty when we assist in providing an alternative, yet comparable product. If you would like your original product returned instead of receiving a comparable replacement, please check the box on the printable warranty form or call us, no later than 20 days after you ship your product at 1-888-697-6735.

You may seek resolution directly through the retailer where you purchased the Footwear or jacket. In many cases, the retailer will be able to assist you. You may also send your pair of SOREL footwear or jacket to us. Footwear or jackets must be cleaned prior to shipment according to its care instructions. Please include your completed warranty form, or include a cover letter with your name, address, daytime phone number, e-mail address, and a brief description of the problem. A copy of your original receipt or proof of purchase may also be required.

Please Note: Products must be cleaned prior to shipment according to its care instructions. Products received that are deemed insufficiently cleaned will be returned to the customer unprocessed.

Customers are responsible for shipping items to SOREL. SOREL will cover the cost of return shipping. Please ensure that you ship your product with a reputable carrier that can provide tracking information and proof of delivery, such as FedEx or UPS. Customers are responsible for their product until we sign for delivery. SOREL cannot be held responsible for packages lost in transit.
